If I was a boy my dad insists I would have been named WadeHenry. I was supposed to be an Andrea, but my parents announced this months before I was born. My dad's cousin swooped in and named her daughter, who is just a few months older than me, Andrea. My mom really wanted me to be named Paige, but my dad was reluctant to name me after "part of a book." Maybe by this point they just gave up and settled on the #1 name for 14 years in a row ('70-'84), Jennifer.

Now people will always be trying to find a name beyond Jennifer & Jason. Thanks Linda and Pam. Thanks a lot.

If I was a boy, I would have been an Ezra. My mom said a few other choices were Cate, Chelsea and Amelia. I like Madeline, but it's pretty common with my age group. I would've been fine with Chelsea or Amelia because they would suit me pretty well. People say I look like an Eloise or Olivia

I was going to be named after my aunt Carolyn, but my mom went with her then-best friend's name instead.
